Topic: Tenor ukulele tuning?

Just curious how everyone tunes their Tenor uke's. I'm mainly interested in your prefrences between High G and Low G? Which do you prefer and why?

Re: Tenor ukulele tuning?

I have mine tuned high-G. To keep it the same as the Soprano. I also use unwound Aquila nylgut strings at the moment. I'm still wavering between them and the wound third Aquila set.

I like the High-G because I think it gives a more interesting sound when strumming. Which is what I do mostly. Not a very good picker I'm afraid sad

Re: Tenor ukulele tuning?

Thanks for the input!  I'm using the same strings and tuning at the moment and am pleased as well. I have a set of aquila low g's that I'm going to try once the high g's wear out just to be sure but I have a feeling I'll be sticking with the high g set in the long run.

Re: Tenor ukulele tuning?

My Tenor Uke is currently tuned high G, because thats the way it arrived. I will say it does promote a unique sound, but some chord progressions sound odd with high G tuning. I will be changing it ti Low G when i get a new set of strings.
